Contents of Package
This scripts is composed of 2 python files:
ApiClient.py
startScript.py
: ApiClient.py can be used to interface with the Edge Node’s API but will do nothing if run directly.
startScript.py: startScript.py must be run in the same folder with ApiClient.
Usage
This script will connect to specified devices and start or restart the core apps MQTT, eACMEdge ACM, and Priority Forward. The script can be run from the command line as follows after navigating to its folder:
| Code Block |
|---|
python startScript.py |
...
| Code Block |
|---|
python3 startScript.py |
It When first run, the script will create a subfolder named “Start” when first run. If a csv list of devices is placed in that folder, along with the MQTT or eACM folders containing binary updates (including a bin and lib folder), the next time the script is run it will apply those binaries to the listed devices. Place a properly formatted CSV file containing a list of devices and execute the command again to restart the apps.
CSV Formatting
The CSV file’s top row must include the following headers:
...
Site Name | A name for the site, primarily used for logging |
Edge Device IP | The IP address or url URL of the edge Edge device; this is the IP we will attempt to contact. Unless otherwise specified, it will be assumped an IP or url is of the format, Eg By default, the IP address will be preceded with “http://” and the port used will be 8080, e.g. “192.168.0.10” will be read as “http://192.168.0.10:8080”. If a different port is expected, or the node is configured for https, that must be included, eg e.g. “https://192.168.0.10:8181”. Each Edge Device IP must be unique within the CSV. |
eACM username | The app manager username |
eACM password | The app manager password |
